Today's news puts a new perspective on the MH370 tragedy.
Lawyers representing two children, whose father was on the A/C, have sued Malaysian Airlines and the Malaysian Gov't for negligence.
I'm very interested how they can prove negligence, but it will certainly be an interesting legal case, assuming a court will permit the case to be heard.
For my money it is premature and will only nullify the objective of getting to the truth. The search is ON everyday by the Australians and others equipped best to search.
I'd be interested in their contract with those children...assuming there is a financial compensation claim. I'd love to hear they are solely offering free representation to alleviate those children's economic welfare and future.
Sadly, I think....:icon_evil:
I just read there has been an out of court settlement for these 2 Malaysian brothers....
[I]"KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Two Malaysian boys whose father was a passenger on the jetliner that vanished in March last year secured an out of court settlement in the tragedy's first legal case against Malaysia Airlines and the government.
Lawyer Arunan Selvaraj said Tuesday the mother of the boys decided to accept compensation on their behalf so that they can "move forward with their life." Arunan declined to reveal the amount.
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board when it disappeared March 8 last year. Authorities believe it crashed in a remote part of the southern Indian Ocean. A search is still ongoing.
Other relatives of Flight 370 passengers were waiting for the outcome of the first case. Arunan said he did not know if there would be more law suits.
Malaysia Airlines has begun the process of paying compensation after the Malaysian government declared the jet's disappearance an accident.
Arunan declined to say whether the compensation was more than the family's entitlement under the Montreal Convention, which governs liabilities from airline disasters."[/I]
No mention of the amount but, under the Montreal Convention it would come to 113,000 SDRs, which is around US$140,000 these days. I'm sure they got more than that and imo accepting an out-of-court may have been the best way to go considering Malaysian Airlines is bankrupt and laying off all staff.... then rehiring about three-quarters under new contracts.

I did get a good laugh out of it.

The purpose of 'quoting' in a forum is to connect the dialog, within a thread, so readers may comprehend the genesis. It doesn't matter who is quoted so long as the subject matter is cogent and coherent.
Some posters do not make this connection and why some threads 'gang aft agley'...or why it's necessary to search to find the original reference. 'Quotes' identify the relevent posts being discussed and is a polite assistance to the reader.
And some posters cannot even articulate nor comprehend....:apathy:

Your post is interesting balibule, and currently being shown on the news, but this thread is about the missing MH370 and your post is about the blown-up MH17. Do you think, to avoid confusion, you could start a new thread?

IMO they could be related

Then why not start a new thread with the subject of MH17. It will create new debate without confusion. You can reference to the original thread but avoid confusion... simple?

Here's my question and anybody can feel free to answer.
Who actually cares?
a) Nobody
b) Nobody
c) Nobody
d) Forum Nazi

That's really funny Ranki. I just love this avalanche of "new" definitions that seems to sweep over everything on a regular basis.
My momentary favorite is "faceplant" if, like me, you lead a sheltered life and this is new to you just google it and laugh.
davita
My apologies to all members for attempting to organize posts so they can be read with clarity has offended. I'll leave the future dialogue to those who apparently don't care....and offer little dialogue anyway.
Markit
Aww Davita don't get all pissy now - this forum only runs like a smooth Swiss marital toy because you take the time to organize it.
Don't pay any attention to Ranki - he's a fecking Kiwi, they still think Rubic's cube is pretty cool.

Thanks markit...I think....as a forum Nazi I'm starting a new thread to debate pubic cubes and kiwis.
Markit
Ok so I know you have been on the beautiful Earth a lot longer than me so our interpretation of what is new or not could be significantly different but that term was entered in Urban Dictionary back in 2002 so IMO it is not a new definition. :)
I'm being very subjective - "new" to me. Did you check out "faceplant" I start to giggle just seeing the word ...

There is really kind of a complex quality concerning the person that has offended you, and by delving into some of his posts concerning political views and belief in strange conspiracy theories you may realize that calling you a nazi may not be as bizarre as you may think.
Here is a guy that has made an interesting contribution to the forum with all his old pictures of Bali, and if you meet him personally will find him a very engaging, helpful individual......at least I have. When inquiring about specific info. on NZ he was most helpful and I for one find that in contrast to sometimes that which he espouses. Maybe he just has bad hair days, and by the way having visited NZ now twice found the folks there extremely gracious and pleasant to this tourist.

Thank you Mugwump, you kind words do mean a lot to me. I am glad you can appreciate the difference between reality and cyber space. I am the first to put my hand up and say I can be a w@nker. But nobodys perfect.

This find certainly brings the question of what happened to MH370 to the forefront of news....but, I suggest, for those bereaving families it will not be the news they wanted.
Whilst still speculative it becomes clearer that MH370 crashed somewhere in the South Indian ocean...and gives confidence to those, who are still searching, to strive to find it.

Does anyone else on here feel its time to start a new thread on this,seeing that its in the news again I guess we should get more updates each day,whether good or bad,but having to go go 17 pages into a thread already more than one year old seems to me like its time for a new one,or is it only me who feels this way,
